atlas 1ea3d87d7a swarm: publish each agent's turn-state header on its own subject
The swarm can already tell whether an agent is alive — the `agent-status`
KV bucket republishes once a minute — but not what it is doing right now.
A header bar wants the second thing, and a minute-old answer to "is this
agent thinking" is the wrong answer most of the time it is read.

`hive-agent` now publishes a turn-state header to
`$SWARM.agent-state.<hive>.<agent>`, a core subject beside the terminal
rows it already sends. It goes out **on transition, not on a timer**: the
publisher watches the event bus, rebuilds the header, and sends only when
the serialised result differs from the last one it sent — so a second
periodic writer, which is the problem this exists to fix, is not what
replaces the bucket.

The payload is the published contract a swarm-level renderer is written
against, so the test asserts on the serialised JSON keys rather than on
Rust field names. Two fields deliberately depart from the per-agent web
UI's `StateSnapshot`: `turn_state_since` is an ISO 8601 UTC string rather
than unix seconds, matching the sibling `$SWARM.term` subject's stamp, and
`agent_state` carries the swarm's own `AgentState` vocabulary rather than
a `paused` boolean, so a reader can compare actual against wanted without
translating. `turn_state` and `agent_state` stay two separate fields:
neither vocabulary contains the other's values.

Swarm-side, `GET /api/agents/{name}/state/stream` relays the subject as
SSE, resolving the agent's hive at request time exactly as the terminal
stream does and passing the bytes through without parsing them.

The broker grant is a second `--agent-publish-subject` rather than a
widening of the existing one, so the terminal family and the header family
stay independently revocable, and a `module-eval` arm pins the rendered
flag and its argument together — the doubled dollar included, since a
single one expands to nothing in `ExecStart` and yields a grant that
matches nothing.

hyperhive docs

Depth reference for hyperhive — the substrate, not the pitch (that's the top-level README / website). Every page here stands alone; pick the one matching your task rather than reading top to bottom. For the autogenerated NixOS options reference (every services.hyperhive.* / hyperhive.* option, host and agent), see the options site instead — this tree is prose, that one's generated straight from the module declarations.

Getting started

  • Bringing a fresh hive online?getting-started/setup.md (first-run hivectl bootstrap).
  • What does the dashboard look like, and how do I use it?web-ui/ — the operator-facing starting point; its own sub-pages (shape, dashboard, agent, css-vars, terminal-rendering) go deeper into implementation.
  • What tools does an agent (or the operator) have available?tools/hivectl (yours) plus every agent's MCP tool surface (bash, forge, lifecycle, matrix, scheduling).

Agent lifecycle

Trust boundary & security

Accounts & integrations

  • How do per-agent forge accounts work? What does forge_notify poll, and how does it format wake messages?integrations/forge.md (the hive's own Forgejo); tools/forge.md for the hive-forge CLI verbs agents actually call.
  • How does the matrix-tuwunel container work? Multiple accounts per agent?integrations/matrix.md (the homeserver); tools/matrix.md for the MCP tool surface and hyperhive.matrixAccounts.
  • How do I give an agent a GitHub account (gh + git push)? how's the PAT injected?integrations/github.md (operator content up top; the gh/git-push + notification-poller mechanics are in a collapsed "Implementation" section at the bottom).
  • What's /knowledge? How does the hive-wide knowledge repo sync, and how do I contribute a document?integrations/knowledge.md.
  • What does hivectl do? Provisioning, gateway users, container shells?tools/hivectl.md (the curated guide); tools/hivectl-cli.md for the exhaustive, autogenerated flag reference.

Networking & swarms

  • What nginx vhosts does the gateway serve? How does matrix discovery work?networking/gateway.md.
  • How does DNS resolution work in agent containers? What's the bridge network for?networking/network.md.
  • How do I connect two hives into a swarm?swarm/ (peer hives, TLS trust).
  • Where do agent snapshots go? How does the swarm's btrfs receive endpoint authenticate a pushing hive?networking/snapshot-store.md.

Scheduler, CI, observability

  • what's the job queue, as a general idea (not hive-c0re specifics)?scheduler/jobq.md — operator-facing, no implementation detail.
  • How does the rebuild queue work? What are the concrete step kinds, queue sources, scheduler internals?scheduler/coordinator.md.
  • How does the CI runner work? What's the autoregistration flow?scheduler/ci.md.
  • How do I export Claude Code metrics (tokens, cost, tool calls) to Prometheus/Grafana?scheduler/observability.md.

Crate reference

  • What does a specific Rust crate do, on its own terms?crates/ — every workspace crate's own README.md, one level up from source; the crate itself is still the source of truth, this is just a walkable mirror.
